About · The Who
Kai
In yoga practice for over forty years. Training yoga teachers for over fifteen — in asana, embodiment, anatomy, philosophy, pranayama, and meditation, in the tradition of Tantra, from the Trika lineage of Kashmir Shaivism. In recent years, a student of Christopher Wallis, whom I would call my root guru.
Tantra, as I’ve learned it, is turned toward life, not away from it. It welcomes you as already whole — not as a project still needing to be finished. Everything in it rests on willingness: nothing has to happen, everything can. And beyond mere positive thinking, it recognizes the intrinsic goodness within creation itself.
The tradition and the framework gave me the language for it. Everything here is an invitation to find your own.
I myself was a seeker for most of it. The seeking collapsed. And what remained was what had always been there.
Whoever looks for me will find the
work —
and so will find themselves.
A few markers, for the record
First contact with yoga, during a stay in the United States.
First Anusara workshop with John Friend — it opened something, in body and mind, that never quite closed again.
Founding of Yogatribe in Berlin. Years of deepening: Certified Anusara Teacher, Spiraldynamik, thousands of classes taught, teacher trainings of his own.
Lead faculty at the YogaEasy Academy, and the book Mentale Gesundheit durch Yoga (Europa Verlag).
Immersions with Christopher Wallis in Kashmir Shaivism, and a pilgrimage to India, into the Nityananda lineage — the point where the ground truly gave way for the first time.
